@esther-c Half dragon technically, but full human except for wings and tail. Like my profile picture (that’s probably the charrie i’ll be using lol)
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.
Ok cool.
Ev
Ev gave Falon a small wave before making his way farther into the mall. “Ok,” he murmured to himself. “A store that sells suits…”
After a little bit of searching, he finally found a place where he could rent a tux without wrecking his budget. He casually walked through the store, searching for the perfect suit. But something caught his eye…
A scaled tail flicked back and forth, sticking out from one of the aisles. Ev cocked his head, intrigued.
He slowly approached it, hoping to find the owner of the tail. As he got closer, he noticed it belonged to a guy with scaled wings as well. The boy turned around and Ev smiled, running a hand through his thick, dark hair. “Heh… sorry. I just saw it,” he pointed to the boy’s tail, “and was confused, uh, that’s all.” he chuckled sheepishly, hoping the boy didn’t think that he was being rude.
How do I always get myself in these situations?
Sorry that was a little rough. XD My brain is kinda tired from writing, like, 2k words today. 😅

@keilah-h he’s a dwarf so three feet tall and 300 pounds
I’ll RP probably a lot next week during Thanksgiving Break
Livia
“Um…” Liv hesitated, “I guess you could introduce me, but that might be awkward.” She stroked Xandro’s mane. “I don’t want him to think that I…um…like him or anything like that, and what if he doesn’t want to go to the dance with me? Then him telling me that would be even worse for him, and making him go to the dance with me if he doesn’t want to would be miserable.”

“Well, I guess whatever you want to say. I’ve never really thought about it before. But I understand. It’s hard to carry on a conversation with someone. I’ve learned from my father though. He’s… quite the diplomat, I guess.” Callista shrugged with one shoulder.
Father. The word that only meant beatings, drugs, and drunkenness to Chase. There was no bitterness to Callista’s words, did she like her father? Those were two words Chase had never been able to put together positively. And a father teaching what Chase considered a good skill was a never. All his father taught him was that he hated him with every thought.
“That’s nice.” Chase smiled wobbly; he didn’t want to offend Callista. “I-my father never taught me much.” More like nothing. “Uhh…” He looked lost, fingering a white scar on the back of his hand. The only subjects he knew well were things most people wouldn’t understand, or things he didn’t want them to understand.
Could he trust Callista? No, she was nice, but she was new. All of his foster siblings started out nice but then eventually earned their punches. Chase only understood the Law of the Alley, your fists and your instincts are the only things you can trust. “My father was a type of business man, wasn’t home very much. Only late at nights, sometimes close to midnight.” Chase’s smile died on his lips as he finished. He looked to the side, quickly taking in and holding a deep breath at the memory of some of the horrors of his childhood., his expression changing.
“What is your f-family like?” He wouldn’t look into her eyes, his voice and expression still different than before.
"You need French Toast."
Fynn
“I don’t want him to think that I…um…like him or anything like that, and what if he doesn’t want to go to the dance with me? Then him telling me that would be even worse for him, and making him go to the dance with me if he doesn’t want to would be miserable.”
Fynn nodded his head to the side. “True.” But he still held back a smile. He imagined Lukas taking a girl to a dance made him almost laugh outside. He’d get so nervous and his stutter would come out. At least that’s the way he acted around Skylar. But Fynn found it weird that he liked his little sister. Sure, Ev liked Fynn’s older sister, but that was different. I guess it’s different. “It’s alright. I guess I’ll just casually point him out to you.” He shrugged and suppressed a smile. Before Livia could answer, he continued, “Well, here are the girls’ dorms. I think Callista said you guys were room 804. I can wait for you out here, or I can go back if you know how to get back to the entrance on your own.”
Callista
“What is your f-family like?” Chase asked, avoiding eye contact.
“Oh, uh— um…” A pang of grief pierced her heart. She didn’t want to talk about it. But every time she told someone about it, the grief and sadness got easier to bear…
So she took a deep breath. There was no reason not to trust Chase. “Well, right now, it’s just my father, me, and my two brothers. One older. One younger. We, um…” She twirled the end of her hair, trying to figure out to phrase the next few sentences. “W-we lived under a government that repressed our freedoms and the values that our country Aletheia was built upon. My family disagreed with them, but we tried to live quiet, peaceable lives. That didn’t… quite happen.” She licked her lips. “We were arrested. Members from the resistance came to break us and other prisoners out, but things got out of control. People died that shouldn’t have died… l-like my m-mother.” She forced a tiny smile. “So, uh, yeah, that’s my family. I didn’t mean to get all sad and depressing on you like that.” She forced a chuckle.

Woah, that last paragraph looks huge. XD

Chase Duke
Chase’s jaw clenched. He could trust Callista, she knew his grief.
“M-my mother is dead to, been dead for-for two years. That’s why I c-can’t really talk to anyone. I-I am an only child, and…” She had just shared her story, he should share his. He let out a breath. Chase pulled his sleeve down to his elbow, showing the many scars that covered his arm. “My father…wasn’t so nice. He was the oppressor in my life, and he was the one who killed my mother.” Chase’s eyes grew a little cloudy with water, but no tear fell. “I-I’m a foster child now, ever, ever since my father was arrested for abuse, and drug use. I understand your sadness over loosing your mom, I did all I could for mine, and I lost her still. I-I blame myself for not protecting her, but it still was my father who killed her.” Chase pulled his sleeve down again, and rested a hand on Callista’s shoulder. “You’re not alone.” Chase looked at her with his black eyes, which turned a beautiful, bright green as se looked into them.
Congrats! your charrie is the first person Chase has ever opened up to willingly and showed his secret!
"You need French Toast."
Liv
“I guess that’s fine,” Liv answered Fynn. “And you don’t have to wait for me. Between me and Xandro, we should be able to put two brain cells together and find our way back,” she laughed.

LEFSE FOREVER!!!!!! <333Congrats! your charrie is the first person Chase has ever opened up to willingly and showed his secret!
Aww 🥰 Lol. Because Callie is so awesome, I sometimes wish that she was a major character in my WIP, but she isn’t one until a few books later. XD
Callista
“You’re not alone,” Chase said, resting his hand on her shoulder. Callista’s blue eyes met his, which turned a beautiful bright green.
She let a stray tear run down her cheek. And before she could even think through what to say next, she gave Chase a gentle hug. “Thank you,” she whispered. Fynn, Ami, and all their family had been such a comfort, but even though they sincerely cared, they didn’t fully understand her grief. Here, she had found someone who did. And it was one of the most wonderful feelings in the world.
Fynn
“And you don’t have to wait for me. Between me and Xandro, we should be able to put two brain cells together and find our way back,” she said with a laugh.
Fynn nodded. “Cool.” He started is way back to the entrance where Callista and Chase were waiting for him. And Lukas too. At least he thought.
“Oh, you’re on your way back.”
Fynn looked up to see Lukas walking towards him. Lukas slowed and fell in step beside him.
“What are you doing here?” Fynn asked.
Lukas shrugged. “Callista started talking to Chase after she kicked you out and I didn’t know what to do, so I went to find you.”
“Can’t survive without me?” He nudged him in the shoulder.
“That’s not what I meant,” Lukas said flatly. “Callie’s being really sweet though. I think she thought that Chase was feeling left out or something.”
Fynn smiled. “Yeah, that’s Callista for ya. That’s what I was telling Livia.” He paused for a moment, then said, “She’s really cool, you know.”
Lukas furrowed his brow. “Are you trying to imply something?”
Fynn shrugged innocently. “Naw. Just stating a fact, that’s all.”
“Fynn, you better not—”
“I’m not doing anything!” Fynn held up his hands in defense. “I think you’re reading in between the lines.”
“Uh-huh. Because that’s what I have to do around you.” Lukas raised an eyebrow and smirked.
Fynn chuckled. “You don’t trust me, do you?”
Lukas’s expression was all the answer Fynn needed.
“Ok, maybe that is a smart decision.”
“Yes, very smart.”
The two were about to turn the corner into the hallway that connected to the entrance, but Fynn paused and cocked his head. He stuck out his arm to stop Lukas.
“Hey, wha—”
“Sh-sh. Just wait a minute.” Fynn smiled softly as he watched Callie give Chase a hug, and then talk to him. A few tears were leaking from her bright blue eyes. Fynn didn’t want to interrupt whatever was going on. Chase seemed more open around her, and Fynn knew that she was doing what he loved her for… showing a broken heart unconditional love.
I guess Liv can come back whenever. I don’t know when Callista and Chase will be done talking.

Fynn and Lukas are hilarious!
Liv
She twisted the bronze knob and the door swung open. “Whoa,” she said, taking in the sight. The room was beautiful. Xandro snorted and stopped walking. “Not you, buddy,” Liv gently smacked him with the back of her hand.
She found an open bunk and plopped her stuff down. The beds were made neatly, and there was a dresser at the foot of the bed. “Good thing horses sleep standing up,” Liv said to Xandro, “Because I don’t think you’d fit in one of these.” Xandro bugled and butted Liv with his forehead. “Hey! I wasn’t calling you fat!” Liv protested as Xandro lifted her by the collar of her shirt and tossed her onto his back.
“Now let’s try to find Callista,” she told Xandro. “Hopefully you’re memory is better than mine.” She ducked under the top of the door and exited on Xandro’s back. “Hold on,” Xandro stopped, and Liv yanked off her shoes, throwing them on her bed, sighing in relief. “Now this feels like home.” She always hated wearing shoes. Her parents always said it was more proper for a girl of her status to wear shoes. Livia, what will they think? We’ll be the laughingstock of the town! They’d say, but Liv knew that if anyone dared laugh at her, Xandro would likely stomp on their feet.
“1-2-3,” Liv said as she launched herself to a standing position on Xandro. She could feel his strong muscles rippling beneath her feet and she held her arms out for balance. “Please don’t let me fall, I don’t want to look dumb.” Xandro nodded, and began trotting down the hall, floorboards protesting with every hoofbeat. Liv bent her knees and balanced, girl and horse becoming one. The ceiling was so close, Liv could touch it.
They rounded the corner, and found Fynn, Lukas (I don’t remember if they introduced Liv to Lukas), another boy, and Callista. They all looked up at her. Only now did Liv realize how strange it must have looked for her to be standing on the back of her horse, but there was no going back now.
“Xandro, let’s show them the-” she began, but Xandro was already moving, trotting again. Liv counted his hoofbeats again, and then she leapt into the air, backflipped and came down, arms stretched out wide like the wings of an eagle. She let a smile crease her face, and then slid back down to sit on his back.
Maybe she did it to impress them, maybe she was a show-off, but she didn’t care anymore. All that mattered was that she had Xandro, and Xandro had her.

LEFSE FOREVER!!!!!! <333As a little note, I really like Callista. She’s the type of person I would befriend in real life.
Chase Duke
Callista gave Chase a gentle hug, whispering “thank you” as a tear fell down her cheek. Chase sucked in a breath. No one had ever really hugged him besides his mom, some had tried, but Chase was to quick. Callista was different, she understood Chase more than anyone did. She was worthy to give him that sign of human effection and sympathy, because she had been in the black tunnel of grief. He returned her hug, whispering himself.
“You never know how much you really love someone until you loose them. You’re the first person who ever has understood.” A tear almost trickled down Chase’s cheek but he brushed it away.
He allowed the hug to last a few seconds longer before pulling away. He looked up, and his eyes turned black again. How long had Fynn and Lukas been there?
Lol! I know someone named Lukas, and once you meet him once, you will never forget him. The only way my friends and I can explain him as, is “Lukas is Lukas.” Every time I read your characters name, I think of the quote “Rope is cheep.” (Don’t ask.) XD he’s a funny guy, especially when he wears his top hat!
"You need French Toast."

Lol 😂 Oh my goodness, that’s hilarious. XD I know a few people like that. “So-and-so is so-and-so.” 😂
As a little note, I really like Callista. She’s the type of person I would befriend in real life.
Aw, thanks! 😊
Yess, me too. She’s so sweet. 🥰
Callista
“You never know how much you really love someone until you loose them. You’re the first person who ever has understood.”
She smiled softly and wiped away another runaway tear as she pulled away from the hug. “I know how that feels… You’re the first person who’s really understood what I’ve felt too.”
She sighed, but before she could say anything else, spotted Fynn leaning against the wall with a small smile on his face. Lukas, who was beside him, seemed thoroughly confused. She waved them over.
They jogged down the hall. Fynn put a gentle hand on Callie’s shoulder and whispered in her ear, “Are you okay?”
She sniffled and gave him a steady smile. “Yeah, I’m good”
Fynn seemed to understand how she felt through the expression in her bright blue eyes.
Lukas raised an eyebrow. “Did I miss something?”
“Nothin’.” Fynn said, ruffling Lukas’s hair.
He quickly pulled away and crossed his arms. “Who are you? Ev? You seriously have to stop doing the whole ‘older-brotherly-ruffle-the-hair-and-laugh-thing.’ We’re only, like, a year and month apart!”
Fynn shrugged. “Yeah, but I’m the older one.”
Lukas muttered something under his breath and shot Fynn a glare.
Callie held back a giggle. Those two were…something else, that was for sure.
But all their attention was soon drawn farther up the hallway. Livia was coming in, standing on top of her horse Xandro. She did a quick backflip, then slid down to a seat position on his back with a smile on her face.
Callista let her jaw drop. “Where did you learn to do that?”

Chase Duke
Lydia* (or so Chase thought he had heard her called earlier) made a grand entrance on her blue horse. With Fynn and Lukas with Callista, he pulled his hood back over his head to hide his face from the new person as Callista asked Lydia a question. Stepping shyly towards the direction of the horse, for Lydia was near him, he held out his hand with his palm up as if offering a treat. His courage grew, and he rubbed the horses muzzle, and stroked his neck. His charm over animals had never failed him.
*I am well aware that her name is actually Livia
"You need French Toast."
Livia
“Where did you learn to do that?” Callista gasped.
“I kind of taught myself,” Liv smiled shyly, now feeling awkward. She shouldn’t have been such a show off, she knew, but she couldn’t resist. “With Xandro, it’s easier, because he won’t let me fall off.” She noticed the boy petting Xandro. “If you scratch under his mane, like this,” she showed him, “He really likes it.” She proceeded to show the boy, and Xandro began nodding his head, stretching out his nose and curling his lip away from his teeth. Liv giggled. “That means he likes it.” She paused. “I don’t think I’ve met you before,” she said to the boy petting Xandro. “I’m Livia, but you can call me Liv. This is Xandro,” she patted Xandro’s neck.
Livia slid down from Xandro. “Should we go to the mall now?”
